I got these lovely sauces from Melinda’s and that’s the usual script bla bla but this time it was different. Yes, I was in for a big big surprise this time , something which I never would have fathomed. I opened the box and found the first sauce in it as - “Bhoot jolokia” , what again..??? Well this translates to “Ghost Pepper” in Assamese , a language spoken in the far eastern Indian state, and it is a variety of chili found in the North East of India , a part lesser known to most of the world. My mom is from Assam and hence I know the language , I was delighted that an American company would have that name in there , such a pleasant surprise.
This chili is very very spicy, really hot to handle so much that even most Indians avoid eating it so you can really guess how hot it would be .

Don’t believe me, look at these -
In 2007, Guinness World Records certified that the ghost pepper was the world's hottest chili pepper, 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce.

Chili grenades made from ghost peppers were successfully used by the Indian Army in August 2015 to flush out a terrorist hiding in a cave.

Don’t worry Melindas has done a wonderful job in toning it down for the sauce while keeping the hot essence of the chili alive in it.
Super excited, I decided to make some quick mushroom using a spicy garlicky sauce and that is this recipe. Deep fry the battered mushroom and sauté them with a sauce I created using melindas .I also added some thyme and coriander seeds in my batter to give that added taste to my bites.

If you do not have the sauce at home, you can always use a chili sauce instead in this recipe and that works too.
